Hamas appears to be split over the unity deal it signed with Fatah and the movement's relationship with Iran.
According to the deal signed two weeks ago in Qatar by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the head of Hamas's political bureau Khaled Mashal, the two movements will form a joint government of technocrats with Mr Abbas as prime minister.
The agreement between Fatah and Hamas for a Palestinian unity government, to be headed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, almost certainly signals the end of the short-lived attempt to re-launch Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
The terrorist organisation Hamas is planning to join the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
The partnership, agreed on at a meeting in Cairo on Thursday, marks the next step in efforts to forge unity between long-time rivals Hamas and Fatah.
The prospect of a unity deal between Hamas and Fatah have been further undermined after a high-level Hamas official accused President Mahmoud Abbas of being disinterested in striking one.
Mahmoud Zahar, a leading spokesman for Hamas, said the Palestinian leader was "not interested in achieving" a deal.
The Palestinian president has said that a "new page" has been opened in communication between Fatah and its rival Hamas, following a meeting in Cairo earlier today.
President Mahmoud Abbas said that the two hour talk was positive and that agreements had been reached over their differences. He said that both Hamas and Fatah had agreed to hold presidential parliamentary elections in May
The Palestinian president is to meet the Hamas leader today in Cairo to discuss the future of co-operation between the two rival groups.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will continue to withhold more than £63 million in Palestinian Authority tax money because of the latest attempts to establish a unity agreement between Fatah and Hamas.
The Obama Administration is trying to restart the diplomatic process between Israel and the Palestinians as soon as possible, before an attempt to gain UN recognition of an independent Palestinian state and to ward off alternative European peace plans.
The Palestinian municipal elections will not take place for another six months after President Mahmoud Abbas delayed them to ensure participation from Hamas.
In February Mr Abbas announced that the local vote, the first in six years, would be held on July 9.
At the time a Fatah spokesman said the elections would take place even if Hamas blocked them in the Gaza Strip.
Should the Hamas-Fatah reconciliation agreement be welcomed or opposed? This depends on which of the two parties ends up dominating the other.
For the moment, the factions may have agreed to co-operate for domestic reasons and to help smooth the way towards the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state in September.

Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner[1] (December 21, 1959 – September 21, 1998), also known as Flo-Jo, was an American track and field athlete. She is considered the fastest woman of all time[2][3][4] based on the fact that the world records she set in 1988 for both the 100 m and 200 m still stand and have yet to be seriously challenged. During the late 1980s she became a popular figure in international track and field because of her record-setting performances and flashy personal style. She died in her sleep as the result of an epileptic seizure in 1998 at the age of 38. She attended California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Early life[edit]
Griffith was born in Los Angeles, California, one of eleven children born to parents Robert and Florence Griffith.[5] The family lived in Littlerock, California before Florence Griffith moved with her children to the Jordan Downs public housing complex located in the Watts section of Los Angeles.[6][7] When Griffith was still in elementary school she joined Sugar Ray Robinson Organization, running in track meets on weekends.[7] She won Jesse Owens National Youth Games two years in a row, at ages 14 and 15.[8] Griffith ran track at Jordan High School in Los Angeles.[7] Showing an early interest in fashion, Griffith convinced the track team to wear tights with their uniforms.[8] As a senior in 1978, she finished sixth at the CIF California State Meet behind future teammates Alice Brown and Pam Marshall.[9]
Griffith attended the California State University at Northridge, and she was on the track team coached by Bob Kersee.[10][11] This team also included her teammates Brown and Jeanette Bolden.[11][12][13] However, Griffith had to drop out in order to support her family, and then she took a job as a bank teller. Kersee was then able to find financial aid for Griffith and she returned to college.[14] Brown, Bolden, and Griffith qualified for the 100-meter final at the trials for the 1980 Summer Olympics (Brown winning, Griffith last in the final). Griffith also ran the 200 meters, narrowly finishing fourth, a foot out of a qualifying position.[8] However, the U.S. Government had already decided to boycott those Olympic Games mooting those results.[15] After the season Kersee became the head coach of the track team at the University of California at Los Angeles, which prompted Griffith to also transfer there, since she was academically eligible to do so.[7][11] In 1982, Griffith graduated from UCLA with her bachelor's degree in psychology.[16]
Olympic Runner[edit]
Griffith finished fourth in the 200 meter sprint at the first World Championship in Athletics in 1983. The following year she won a silver medal in the 1984 Summer Olympics. In 1985, she won the 100-meter IAAF Grand Prix Final with the time of 11.00 seconds. After the 1984 Olympic Games, she spent less time running, and she married the Olympic triple jump champion of 1984, Al Joyner, in 1987. Upon returning at the 1987 World Championships, Griffith Joyner finished second again in the 200 meter sprint. Ahead of the 1988 Olympic trials, Griffth Joyner continued to work with coach Kersee two days a week with her new husband coaching her three days a week.[17]
In 1988, she was already qualified for the trials based on the 10.96 personal record set in Köln in 1987. She set a new personal record in the 100 meters in San Diego on June 25, 1988, still nothing to indicate a world record challenging time. A week before the trials she ran a tune up race in 10.99 in Santa Monica.[18] In the first race of the quarterfinals of the U.S. Olympic Trials, she stunned her colleagues when she sprinted 100 meters in 10.49 seconds, a new world record.[a] [8] Since 1997 the International Athletics Annual of the Association of Track and Field Statisticians has listed this performance as "probably strongly wind assisted, but recognized as a world record".[19] At the same Olympic trials Griffith Joyner also set an American record at the 200-meter distance with a time of 21.77 seconds.
Following the Olympic trials, in late July of 1988 Griffith Joyner left coach Kersee saying she wanted a coach able to provide more personal attention. Griffith Joyner left UCLA for UC Irvine with her husband serving as full time coach.[17][b] With Kersee already attending the Olympics as the coach of (among others) his wife, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, this was more likely a move to get her husband Al a coach's pass to the Olympics than a slight to Kersee.
By now known to the world as "Flo-Jo", Griffith Joyner was the big favorite for the titles in the sprint events at the 1988 Summer Olympics. In the 100-meter final, she ran a wind-assisted 10.54, beating her nearest rival Evelyn Ashford by 0.30 seconds. In the 200 meter semifinal, she set the world record of 21.56 seconds and then she broke this record again in winning in the final by 0.38 seconds with her time of 21.34 seconds.[21] No other woman has beaten the 21.56, much less approached the 21.34.
At the same Olympics Griffith Joyner also ran with the 4 × 100 m relay and the 4 × 400 m relay teams. Her team won first place in the 4 × 100 m relay and second place in the 4 × 400 m relay. Their time is still the second fastest in history, following the winner of this race. This was her first internationally rated 4 × 400 m relay.
Griffith Joyner was the winner of the James E. Sullivan Award of 1988 as the top amateur athlete (male or female) in the United States. She retired from competition shortly after that.
Comeback attempt and other activities[edit]
In 1996, Griffith Joyner appeared on Charlie Rose and announced her comeback to competitive athletics, only this time to concentrate on the 400-meter run.[22] Her reason was that she had already set world marks in both the 100 m and 200 m events, with the 400 m world record being her goal. Griffith Joyner trained steadily leading up to the U.S. Olympic trials in June. However, tendonitis in her right leg ended her hopes of becoming a triple-world-record holder. Al Joyner was to also attempt a comeback, but he too was unable to compete due to an injured quadriceps muscle.[23]
Among the things she did away from the track was to design the basketball uniforms for the Indiana Pacers NBA team in 1989.[16] Griffith Joyner appeared in the soap opera, Santa Barbara in 1992, as "Terry Holloway", a photographer similar to Annie Leibovitz. Griffith Joyner was also an artist and painter. Her work has been on display as part the Art of The Olympians (AOTO). She is one of two posthumous members of AOTO,[24] the other being the founder and Olympian, Al Oerter.
Allegations of performance-enhancing drug use[edit]
In 1988, Joaquim Cruz, the Brazilian gold medalist in the 800-meter run at the 1984 Summer Olympics, claimed that Griffith Joyner's times could only have been the result of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs, that her physique had changed dramatically in 1988 (showing marked gains in muscle mass and definition), and that her performance had improved dramatically over a short period of time.[25] Before the 1988 track and field season, Griffith Joyner's best time in the 100-meter sprint was 10.96 seconds. In 1988, she improved that by 0.47 seconds (or 0.35 sec for the non-wind-aided time). Similarly, her best before 1988 at 200-meters was 21.96 seconds. In 1988, she improved that by 0.62 seconds to 21.34 seconds, another time that has not been approached. Prior to the Olympic games in Seoul, she prematurely cut her European tour short (she had been booed off the track by the spectators).[citation needed] Griffith Joyner attributed the change in her physique to new health programs.[26] Al Joyner replaced Bob Kersee as her coach, and he changed her training program to include more lower body strength training exercises such as squats and lunges.[27]
Darrell Robinson, a former teammate of Griffith Joyner, claimed that he sold her 10 c.c. of HGH for $2,000 in 1988. He said Joyner told him: "if you want to make $1 million, you've got to invest some thousands."[26] Robinson also claimed to receive steroids from coach Bob Kersee, and said he saw Carl Lewis inject himself with drugs he believed to be testosterone.[28] Robinson never provided any evidence for his allegations and was shunned by the athletics community, leading to the premature end of his career.
Griffith Joyner retired from competitive track and field after her Olympic triumph in 1988.[29] She was repeatedly tested during competition, and she passed all of these drug tests. Griffith Joyner made public her decision to retire from Olympic competition one week after it was announced that random out-of-competition drug testing would be instituted during the 1989 season.[30][31]
After her death in 1998, Prince Alexandre de Merode, the Chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, claimed that Joyner was singled out for extra, rigorous drug testing during the 1988 Olympic Games because of rumors of steroid use. De Merode told The New York Times that Manfred Donike, who was at that time considered to be the foremost expert on drugs and sports, failed to discover any banned substances during that testing.[32] De Merode later said:
- "We performed all possible and imaginable analyses on her. We never found anything. There should not be the slightest suspicion."[33]
When administered intramuscularly, testosterone propionate takes between 11 days and 16.5 days from the last injection for complete elimination from the body, testosterone enanthate 22 days (3.14 weeks) and testosterone cypionate 44 days (6.29 weeks). [34][35][36]
Wind speed[edit]
Several sources[who?] indicate that her record-setting race at the 1988 Olympic trials was most likely wind-assisted. Although at the time of the race the wind meter at the event measured a wind speed of 0.0 meters per second (no wind), some observers who were present noted evidence of significant winds, and wind speeds of up to 7.0 m/s were measured at other times during the track meet. The previous race on the track was measured at +5.2, and while the second quarterfinal was also 0.0, the third quarterfinal was +4.9.[15][undue weight? ]
Personal life[edit]
Griffith's nickname among family was "Dee Dee."[5][7] She was briefly engaged to hurdler Greg Foster.[5] In 1987, Griffith married 1984 Olympic triple jump champion Al Joyner, who Griffith had first met at the 1980 Olympic Trials.[37][8] Through her marriage to Joyner she was related to track and field athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee.[37] Joyner Griffith and Joyner had one daughter together, born November 15, 1990.[38][16]
On September 21, 1998, Griffith Joyner died in her sleep at home in the Canyon Crest neighborhood of Mission Viejo, California, at the age of 38. The unexpected death was investigated by the sheriff-coroner's office, which announced on October 22 that the cause of death was suffocation during a severe epileptic seizure.[29] She was also found to have had a cavernous hemangioma, a congenital vascular brain abnormality that made Joyner subject to seizures.[39] According to a family attorney, she had suffered a tonic–clonic seizure in 1990, and had also been treated for seizures in 1993 and 1994.
The coroner had requested that Griffith Joyner's body specifically be tested for steroids, but was informed that there was not enough urine in her bladder and that the test could not accurately be performed on other biological samples.[29]
The city of Mission Viejo dedicated a park at the entrance to her neighborhood in her honor.[40][41]
USA Track & Field inducted her into its Hall of Fame in 1995.[42] In 2000, the 102nd Street School in Los Angeles was renamed Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary School. Griffith Joyner had attended the school as a child.[6]

Drought taking toll on lawns
Published: Sunday, July 9, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 7, 2006 at 12:26 p.m.
As of this writing (a week ago) we have had a little over 12 inches of rain as an average in Terrebonne Parish and in Louisianas south central region since January. Just about everywhere you go, you will find yellowing and dying out of lawns.
We often see this brown-patch condition on our lawns during the summer. Most of the time it is caused by chinch bugs. This pest is always a consideration during hot and dry conditions. The main culprit now is the drought and high temperatures.
Our centipede lawns especially cant tolerate drought conditions, and they get in very bad shape if they have not been watered. St. Augustine grass has a little more tolerance to droughts, but it is also suffering and dying if it had not been watered. Zoysiagrass should have the least problems surviving drought followed by bermudagrass.
The first indication of insufficient water is a change of color from bright to dull green. We are past that now, and we are seeing mostly dead or dormant brown areas. In many of the lawns, you are seeing some green.
As the accompanying photographs indicate, you have dead or dying "good grass" and you have green weeds such as dallisgrass, bahiagrass, Virginia buttonweed, spurge and some low-growing weeds. These are tough weeds that are hard to control in a lawn. These weeds will cause problems in our lawns for years to come if they are allowed to encompass much of the lawn areas.
Homeowners will have to make a decision next spring or early summer on whether to renovate or re-establish their lawns. Renovation is the improvement of a turf-grass stand without completely killing off the area and replanting. Re-establishment refers to complete destruction of the old lawn area, site preparation and replanting.
This decision will be based on the turf-grass species desired and how much desirable turf cover is present. There will be plenty of lawn areas that will need re-establishment.
As a general rule, if there is less than 40 to 50 percent desirable grass cover present, then re-establishment should be considered if you want a decent turf-grass cover.
As I said earlier, the best time to re-establish will probably be next spring or summer, unless our drought breaks soon. You may want to try providing adequate water now and see if the lawn is dead or if it went into a dormancy period as centipede will often do during dry conditions.
Another reason for waiting until next year is that sod has been hard to find now. If you find decent sod, put it out now and we continue in a drought, you will be no better off than before. Without adequate watering, you will loose your new investment.
You will also find in the centipede and St. Augustine lawns a good bit of common bermuda is showing up. This is common after insect pressure and drought conditions have destroyed desirable turf. Bermuda grass is a desirable warm-season grass, but it is also a high-maintenance grass needing full sun exposure to compete well.
A question we are often asked is when is the best time to water. Under ideal conditions and when weather patterns are normal, early morning would be best. At this time we take advantage of less wind, milder temperature, adequate water pressure and less disease pressure from having wet grass overnight.
Where we are now is that the lawns need to be watered if you want them to survive. Early morning is ideal; late in the evening is fine if that is the only time it can get done, and your city water pressure should be higher by late evening. Poor water pressure can easily distort a well-designed watering pattern. You do not want to be applying "weed and feeds" or other fertilizers at this time, thinking that you will get rain. These compounds have high salt contents that can further burn up living turf if adequate moisture does not dissolve it deep into the soil.
Hopefully our usual afternoon showers will return and bring relief from the drought and heat. We may then see our turf lawns greening up and growing. We all will probably recruit a few more weeds. If they are annuals, they die with the frost; if perennials, consider a post-emerge treatment next spring.
As we approach the late summer months and early fall, we will be able to better access the damage to our lawns and plan how we want to correct any losses from the drought conditions.
Vegetables to plant in July
Transplant tomatoes and bell peppers in mid-July for fall production. Plant okra, southern peas, cucumbers, squash, cantaloupes, pumpkins and watermelons.
Question of the week
How can you tell if a watermelon is ripe?
Answer: No guarantee, but a ripe fruit will give a dull, flat sound when thumped, a green unripe fruit will give a crisp metallic sound. The "ground spot" will turn from a white color to a light yellow as it reaches maturity.

Review: Kartesz Family Eye Care
Posted in the Roanoke Forum
1 - 1 of 1 Comments Last updated Jun 27, 2013
#1 Jun 27, 2013
I had an appointment at Kartezs Family Eye Care, on Peters Creek Rd. In Roanoke VA.
It was a bad experience from the beginning. I am training a service dog, which they refused to allow in the building. Then I was placed in a room for over a half hour to wait for Dr. Kartezs. After a routine eye exam the Dr. said he wanted to run some tests. I had already explained on check in,I did not have insurance and would be paying cash for my exam. Without explanation, the Dr Kartezs placed drops in my eyes then left the room. I was taken to an area to look at frames. I asked about the tests the Dr. wanted to run and was not given an answer. I took several pair of frames from the shelf and could not get a full price on having them fitted with my prescription. They would not give me the price with all the add-ons.
I became frustrated and my wife and I decided to leave. I asked at the desk how much I owed and was told $35. I paid and intended to not ever do business with people who treat me like they are doing me a favor by doing business with me.
5 weeks later I received a bill in delinquency for $60.
I called and was told by the office manager. They were doing me a favor by not charging me the whole amount at the time of the visit because they wanted to run it through my insurance, even though I told them I had no eye care coverage. They told me even though their bill said I was 30-60 days past due. That was a computer issue they had no control over.
So even though I was left in a room, questions about exams went unanswered incomplete billing problems and not being able to get a straight answer on a price of glasses, the office manager told me she stood by their excellent record and the issues I experienced were my problem.
I would not recommend going to this office.

Arsenal release video of David Beckham's first day at training
- January 29, 2013
- Comments0
David Beckham arrived at Arsenal's Colney facilities on Tuesday morning to get involved in training with the Gunners first team.
Arene Wenger was quick to tell journalists that he had no intention of signing Beckham joining this transfer window, and that Beckham's sole purpose for teaming up with the Gunners was to improve his fitness.
As has been well documented, Beckham is currently a free agent having left the LA Galaxy.
With so much global interest in Beckham, Arsenal has released a video capturing a handful of moments from his first day of training.
Andre Santos appeared to particularly enjoy having Goldenballs at the club, while in general Beckham went about his business in a nonplussed manner.
Watch the footage below.

All change as Owen plots his final move
Michael Owen, whose Manchester United contract ends on Saturday, has switched to a new agent for the final move of his playing career.
Owen, who was managed by sports agency giants Wasserman Media Group, is now being looked after by ex-Umbro executive Simon Marsh, who has been a close friend of the former England striker since he signed for the brand as a 15-year-old.
Marsh, who parted company with Umbro after the Nike takeover, is setting up his own football agency and Owen is the first client. He was in Dubai on Owen's behalf last week discussing the mooted move to Al Shabab, who had been competing with Stoke for his signature.
Making a change: Michael Owen has a new agent
WMG, who compiled the famous 32-page brochure to help sell Owen before he left Newcastle to join United in 2009, will continue to work with the 32-year-old on his existing contracts with Umbro and watchmakers Tissot.
But although Owen has enjoyed a long and profitable relationship with WMG, his loyalty to Marsh is the bigger pull.
Mac calls up Tim for sitting on the fence
BBC pundit John McEnroe has made reference to his colleague Tim Henman's conflict of interests after he stayed on the fence in the fall-out from David Nalbandian's Queen's disqualification.
Duel role: John McEnroe mocked Tim Henman for his role at the All England Club and BBC
McEnroe said in jest that anyone might think Henman was a member of the All England Club's committee of management — a dual role that somehow doesn't bother the BBC even if his first priority is to stand up for the AEC.
Hodgson's links spread far and wide
The most unlikely link between Wimbledon and Euro 2012 is that tennis powerbroker Stuart Smith, past president of the Lawn Tennis Association, played in the same school football team at John Ruskin College in Croydon as England manager Roy Hodgson and Steve Kember, the former Chelsea and Crystal Palace forward.
School links: Roy Hodgson was at school with tennis power broker Stuart Smith
And one of few books in the games room of England's Krakow hotel was Rafa Nadal's autobiography.
Garcia won't stick the boot into McIlroy
Golfer Sergio Garcia, who came to Wimbledon dressed for tennis with a racket in hand, is best placed to have an opinion on Ryder Cup colleague Rory McIlroy's drastic loss of form since starting a relationship with Caroline Wozniacki, who suffered a shock exit on Wednesday.
Garcia, who went out with former Wimbledon champion Martina Hingis, says: 'All golfers have highs and lows in their careers whatever is happening in their private life — and it's great if the pair of them are having fun together.'

Draper's extra service
Roger Draper, chief executive of the LTA, has been continually under fire over his running of the under-performing organisation since he took charge in 2006.
Yet he could be given an extension to his £400,000-a-year contract which expires at the end of 2013.
Many in tennis would regard a seven-and-a-half-year tenure as more than enough for a CEO who has been subject to so much criticism. But the slight improvement in British tennis, with some promising youngsters coming through, has come at a fortunate time for Draper with talks over his future expected to start soon.
Importantly, he retains the strong support of independent director Richard Baker, chairman of Virgin Active, who is now the most influential voice on the LTA board.
There is also a case for continuity at a time when the LTA are splitting the responsibilities at the top by appointing an independent chairman next year in addition to their president.
talkSPORT producer goes into hiding after ticket touting is exposed
It's not just Ukraine-based businessman Gary Cook who has been chasing talkSport programme controller Matt Smith for Euro 2012 tickets paid for in advance but not delivered.
TalkSport have had calls from irate listeners allegedly promised Wimbledon and Olympic seats by Smith that have also failed to materialise.
The station's head of outside broadcasts, who has been staying with breakfast show co-host Ronnie Irani since being called home from Ukraine after his pirate ticket touting started to unravel, is understood to be fighting personal problems, including depression. TalkSport had no comment.

Pretty much! They are very close since they all are in the same class of medications called retinoids which are vitamin A cousins. The Differin is a good choice for you if you have oily skin. Remember though you must practice sun protection compulsively if you are using these. Sunscreen and hats every day and, if you are going to be outdoors a lot, I often advise patients to stop it completely for a sunny vacation, summer, training for a marathon, etc. These topicals will make you slightly more sun sensitive. A good option is to increase your topical antioxidants when you decrease your retinoids for the situations mentioned above. Dr. I

The U.S. government provided major support to the financial sector during the financial crisis, just as most advanced nations did. No one disputes this. Nor does anyone dispute that we want to avoid this scale of intervention again. There will always be a role for government support during the inevitable financial crises that occur, but it should be very infrequent, limited, and taxpayers should ultimately be made whole if they lose any money up-front.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report today on the level of support provided during the crisis to the financial industry. It contains a substantial amount of useful information about the scale of support provided, which we already knew to be very large.
A key point to bear in mind while reading the report is that most of the calculations are based on the difference between market prices and those available through the government support. Completely unsurprisingly, the government support was more favorable than market terms. There is no point in intervening by offering the same terms as the market under crisis conditions. Financial crises cause prices to be distorted. Credit spreads shoot up to unreasonable levels and stock prices collapse temporarily. Offering the same terms as the market provides no help in fighting these distortions and stabilizing the system.
Central banks like our Federal Reserve have dealt with this issue for years, in the context of their role as "lender of last resort". It is well accepted that lending by central banks under crisis conditions should be on more favorable terms than the market, even though the costs generally still represent a penalty rate compared to more normal conditions.
The GAO figures are interesting and of historical significance, but do not contradict the fact that government support during the financial crisis was essential and that taxpayers escaped with remarkably little direct cost from that support, actually making money on most of the programs. The indirect costs of the crisis, which triggered the Great Recession, were much larger. However, these societal costs were reduced, not increased, by the government's bold actions in stepping up to provide the necessary support to the financial sector.

"Fascinating. . . . Williams tells the story of La Guardia and Roosevelt with insight and elegance."—Edward Glaeser, New York Times Book ReviewCity of Ambition is a brilliant history of the New Deal and its role in the making of modern New York City. The story of a remarkable collaboration between Franklin Roosevelt and Fiorello La Guardia, this is a case study in creative political leadership in the midst of a devastating depression. Roosevelt and La Guardia were an odd couple: patrician president and immigrant mayor, fireside chat and tabloid cartoon, pragmatic Democrat and reform Republican. But together, as leaders of America's two largest governments in the depths of the Great Depression, they fashioned a route to recovery for the nation and the master plan for a great city.
Roosevelt and his "Brain Trust"—shrewd, energetic advisors such as Harold Ickes and Harry Hopkins—sought to fight the Depression by channeling federal resources through America's cities and counties. La Guardia had replaced Tammany Hall cronies with policy experts, such as the imperious Robert Moses, who were committed to a strong public sector. The two leaders worked closely together. La Guardia had a direct line of communication with FDR and his staff, often visiting Washington carrying piles of blueprints. Roosevelt relied on the mayor as his link to the nation's cities and their needs. The combination was potent. La Guardia's Gotham became a laboratory for New Deal reform. Roosevelt's New Deal transformed city initiatives into major programs such as the Works Progress Administration, which changed the physical face of the United States. Together they built parks, bridges, and schools; put the unemployed to work; and strengthened the Progressive vision of government as serving the public purpose.
Today everyone knows the FDR Drive as a main route to La Guardia Airport. The intersection of steel and concrete speaks to a pair of dynamic leaders whose collaboration lifted a city and a nation. Here is their story.

For someone who is very familiar with the history of NYC I found this book very enlightening and extremely accurate. Aside from being a little tough to read, it is factually accurate and presents a heretofor unknown relationship between FDR and Mayor Laguardia.

Apeiron Biologics will work with Evotec to identify small molecule modulators of DREAM (downstream regulatory element antagonistic modulator), a target involved in perception of pain. Evotec will initially apply its expertise in cellular assay development with opportunities for the project to move into hit identification and beyond.
DREAM reportedly inhibits the synthesis of the endogenous opioid precursor prodynorphin by binding on the respective DNA-promoter region. The companies thus believe it may represent a new target for the treatment of pain.
In DREAM knock-out mice, pain was reduced, ranging from acute chemical, heat, or mechanical to internal, inflammatory, and chronic neuropathic pain, the firms report. Substances that release DREAM from the respective DNA and thereby activate the synthesis of the endogenous opioid precursor prodynorphin are not analgesics per se, but they trigger the production of endogenous opioids in the treated individual.

Reviews for Jericho Foundation Inc
1 person found this review helpful
An amazing organization that helps my country (Bosnia and Herzegovina) by helping it's youth to get an education and a better future. Jericho is a family to all the students that receive their scholarship. I am their first student and am proud to say that since I have finished school in 2008 I still have that family and support that every person needs.
My country was in war and has its struggles after that. Scholarships and student loans are not available and it is very important for smart, talented kids to have a support in schooling.

Although I was not involved in Jericho scholarship program, Jericho had a great impact on my life via my lovely wife. I think that if it wasn't for Jericho I would never met her. It was my honor to volunteer for Jericho two weeks ago!

I am a scholarship recipient of the Jericho Foundation. I had a difficult childhood. My mother died when I was 17, my father was an alcoholic and my brother abuser. Because of that, I was forced out of my home. I wanted to grow up and to be an independent and successful person. That was my biggest dream, but they did not allow. They stopped me at every step, sometimes financially, sometimes food, sometimes in ugly words and often with violent behavior. Through it all, it was very difficult to go alone but my light was Jericho organization. My dream would not have been possible without the good people who support Jericho. Jericho organization has made my dream come true and I became exactly what I wanted. My life is a reminder to all young girls who grow up with abusers and alcoholics, a reminder that with good people like you that I fulfill my dreams. Jericho organization is my reminder to the world there are still good people who want to help others and not to lose hope in humanity.

As a graduated student who has receiving Jericho scholarship for four years, I can only say great words about Jericho foundation. For me Jericho is family. They helped me in so many ways. After first year of collage I wasn't able to continue with my education because of financial issues. Then Jericho helped me by giving me scholarship. Except material support, there were always somebody to talk with when I was feeling bad, having bad day or even to share my happiness after passed exam. Also, they gave me opportunity to visit America and work as an inter in American company. If I have ability to say 'Thank you' every day for the rest of my life, it wouldn't be enough to show my gratitude to Jericho. It really gives you hope to know that somebody, even very far from you, take care of you and you are not alone. Thank you Jericho :D

It is easy to see the direct impact your support makes on this foundation. I have had the honor of getting to know the incredible scholarship recipients Jericho serves and they are worthy students just looking for a chance. It is one of the most valuable experiences I have had with a foundation in my entire life. I am so thankful for the work they do, and getting to be a part of this story. To anyone considering offering their support, I would highly suggest the Jericho Foundation. They are transparent, honest, and like a real family! Thank you Jericho!

Jericho is an amazing non-profit serving the children and families of Bosnia. They have consistently delivered services over the past 15 years of me and my family supporting them.
I feel they use the support we have provided in an accountable responsible way. In traveling with groups trips I have seen the stunning results!

I can't believe there is an organization serving in the region the way Jericho is! As tragedies come, throughout the world, people retreat and move to the next issue. Jericho's commitment to the region has created lasting change and impact in the youth. It is vital that we stay in such areas so that a true difference can be made. Jericho is organized, intentional, impactful AND growing! I am so excited to watch their impact for years to come.

I have been traveling to and reporting from Bosnia for the last twenty years for BBC Television News. Having lived in the Bosnian city of Mostar during the conflict in the 1990's, I am only too aware of how some charities promise much and deliver little. In the time I have known about the work of Jericho, I have been hugely impressed with their long-term commitment and ability to deliver on promises made. I firmly believe that charities such as the Jericho foundation will play a huge part in shaping the country for future generations. I wish them the best of luck.

I have had the opportunity to work with Jericho for the past 2 years. They are an incredible organization, not only going above and beyond to serve their mission, but creating a meaningful and effective donor/service experience for everyone involved. They are impacting their target group in Bosnia, while impacting those they allow to be a part of it in the United States. We appreciate their work and heart for the cause.

I was blessed to have the opportunity to see how the Jericho Foundation impacts the lives of children in Bosnia first hand. Upon a chance meeting with the founder of the organization, I was immediately moved to volunteer. My trip to Bosnia with Jericho changed who I am. Seeing the direct impact the donations to Jericho make on the children, toward not only their education, but their emotional and physical well being, is no less than amazing. I will forever be a support to this organization.

The metabolic syndrome (MS) has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. This syndrome is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, including functional and structural cardiac and vascular changes. The aim of our study was to evaluate subclinical atherosclerosis and its associated risk factors in children with MS.
The study cohort comprised 52 children with MS and 38 age- and sex-matched healthy children. The diagnosis of MS was made according to criteria adopted by the World Health Organization. Blood pressure based on 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), carotid distensibility coefficient (DC) and flow-mediated endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD) were assessed in all children.
We found a significantly higher cIMT in children with MS than in healthy children, but carotid DC and flow-mediated EDD were lower in the former. Multivariate analysis revealed that a higher cIMT was independently associated with a higher nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP) and lower high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (β = 0.386, p = 0.011 and β = 0.248, p = 0.042, respectively). Also, higher nighttime SBP remained an independent predictor of lower DC (β = 0.495, p = 0.009), and higher 24-h SBP was the only independent predictor for a lower EDD (β = 0.532, p = 0.004).
Atherosclerotic vascular changes were common among our pediatric patients with MS and easily determined by high-resolution ultrasound imaging. In particular, subclinical atherosclerosis was clearly associated with nocturnal or 24-h systolic hypertension as measured by ABPM. We therefore recommend that subclinical vascular changes and AMBP measurements should be used as diagnostic markers to predict atherosclerotic risks in this pediatric patient group.

Angry soldiers burn Fredericksburg store, destroying early Gillespie County recordsJuly 1st, 1850
On this day in 1850, a mob of soldiers burned down the store of Fredericksburg merchant John M. Hunter, destroying all Gillespie County records up to that time. Hunter, the first Gillespie County clerk, had a violent temper and had clashed more than once with the soldiers at nearby Fort Martin Scott. On the night of June 30, Hunter had refused to sell whiskey to a soldier named Dole. When Dole became abusive, Hunter fatally stabbed him in the chest. Some fifty angry soldiers returned the next night, looking for Hunter, but the merchant had fled town. Several townspeople attempted to salvage the county records from the burning store, but the soldiers prevented them. Apparently neither Hunter nor the soldiers were punished. Hunter later built a new store on the same block; it opened in time to be used by the district court in October 1850.« Previous Next »

Santa Fe man charged in $95K federal taxes fraud
ALBQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Federal prosecutors have charged a Santa Fe man with defrauding the U.S. government of more than $95,000 in taxes.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for New Mexico says 33-year-old Andrew Lewis [auth] made an initial appearance in federal court Friday in Albuquerque on an indictment charging him with federal tax offenses.
Authorities say Lewis was arrested Thursday by the Internal Revenue Service.
He will remain in custody until his arraignment Monday.
Lewis is charged with one count each conspiracy to defraud the IRS and making a materially false statement to a federal officer. He also is charged with nine counts of aiding and abetting the preparation and filing of false tax returns.
Prosecutors say the fraudulent activities took place between February and August of 2009 in Bernalillo County.

I am really interested in this plug in. I saw in the last thread that you have to be a developer to use this. How skilled do I have to be? Is this a if-you-have-to-ask-you-aren't-there-yet sort of a thing? :)
What I really want is something like a "playlist" here in one place, but that could access my files from dropbox and google drive and wherever else they might be. Would this do that?

I stayed here for one night before the start of an overland trip. I paid enough for an airport pick up so I could swiftly be transported from Nairobi airport to my hotel. I had to wait well over an hour for the service. There was poor communication of the delay. I could have just been told to get an airport taxi to the hotel. At least I was given a complimentary meal which was appreciated and it did not take too long to arrange this. Breakfast was adequate, nothing special. Had little time to make use of any hotel amenities.
